I noticed the same problem, so Your Startup-Sequence isn't exceptionally
weird!

Is the stack perhaps shell/cli specific, so you get the default
whenever a new shell is started? I beleive there is a shell-startup
file one could use then, isn't it?

I use now IconX scripts instead of cli calls, so I didn't really bother
finding it out, but it would be nice to know. Anyone?
